Many Book Artists who create even the most innovative or non-traditional work, received training rooted in traditional craft that can be directly traced to the lineage of William Anthony and his students. My intent with this work was to honor this legacy by creating a binding using the traditional materials and techniques of my craft while pushing the boundaries of conventional book form.<\/p>\n<p>This binding is covered in full goat leather with goat leather onlays and blind tooling. The endsheets are pastepaper on bugra paper and the endbands are sewn with silk thread. The boards are composed of many layers of binders board that have been sanded and shaped for a heavily cushioned and sculptural effect. The board attachment and lining are experimental and were inspired by Gary Frost&#8217;s work with sewn board attachments. The colors and design choices are directly correlated with the exhibition catalog and the William Anthony bindings featured therein.<\/p>\n<p>Estimated Value: $2000<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/preservation\/files\/2014\/11\/embree-pic.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-4176\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/preservation\/files\/2014\/11\/embree-pic-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"embree pic\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a>About the Artist:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Anna Embree is an Asso\u00adciate Pro\u00adfes\u00adsor for the MFA in the Book Arts Pro\u00adgram in the School of Library and Infor\u00adma\u00adtion Studies at The Uni\u00adver\u00adsity of Alabama.
